You can withhold payment and sue the company for breach of contract for failure to provide the service.
The company can sue you for breach of contract for nonpayment; however, you have a defense to enforcement of the contract which is the failure of the company to comply with the terms of the contract by not providing the service which was the subject of the contract.
